Cannot stream from nbc.com - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Can you guys stream any nbc.com full episodes? I used to be able to. What format do they use now cause my brothers new ipad can stream. I wonder how many other sites are gonna go this route. I'd hate for this to happen as this is one reason I went with the prime.

Using Overskreen browser works fine. Opera mobile doesn't seem to work. So more then likely a browser issue.

What about your stock browser or ice+? I cant get neither to work.

Funny, I figured stock browser using request desktop site settings would work but I just tried it and no go, which is unusual. Even HBOGO works that way. Also tried Firefox and same thing on nbc. Not available for device.

I tried it on the Boat browser. The stream plays with sound and audio when the show starts then 15 seconds into it the video stops but the sound continues. If I switch screen size then I get video again for another 15 seconds. It is like they are injecting something into the stream that is messing everything up.

From what my brother tells me nbc.com uses quicktime on the iPad or quicktime can interpret the video or something to that effect.

Just for grins I checked abc and cbs and they both play just fine. I have User Agent set to desktop.

works also on Dolphin HD but does not on stock browser. Says "It's not currently available for this device."

Jetflicks app on the Prime??

Has anybody tried Jetflicks on their Prime yet? I have had no luck in any browser I've tried so far (stock, dolphin, opera and firefox). If anyone's had any success, please let me know what browser you used. Also, I'm thinking it might be a problem with the stock video player. Is it possible to change the stock video player?

I have been using Jetflicks on eee pad Transformer TF101. So far it has worked on Dolphin HD for only one of the shows that I watch... no other shows worked for me.
So I launch Jetflicks on Firefox instead. On Firefox, the show gets downloaded (in php format) and when it gets downloaded I pick Rock Player from the popup menu to play the video.
Once again, no other video player worked for me, including MX Player and Mobo Player.
This is the only way I have been able to work on my TF101.
And resolution is not that great on fullscreen mode but I can live with that.
And why is it that Jetflicks has CSI and CSI:Miami but not CSI:NY?
err

Unacceptable stuttering flash video

Ok do you guys get insane stuttering when trying to view these flash videos .http://www.logotv.com/video/episode-4-season-4-queens-behind-bars/1679428/playlist.jhtml#vid=730696
haha my girlfriend and her friends wanted to watch this show so I told them I could connect it to the tv with my hdmi adapter. then I loaded the video and it played back with the most insane amount of lag. I tried it with and without the mhl hdmi adapter. the problem exist either way. the phone itself didnt seem to lag though. because i could scroll smoothly through the webpage. any of the full episodes dont play right. I know it's a show about drag queens. haha but they wanted to watch it and I wanted to show off my new phone. of course that is when i find out these videos all lag. I have gone through two notes and both have had the issue on this website. Can anyone else test this out. sorry about the video content haha.
I experience the same lag on my note... And on wifi....

thank you! What can be causing this. I've tried using the fix for 10FPS video on stock and dolphin browser but it does nothing for this website. does anyone have a theory. The note should be able to handle that video. Especially a over clocked note. It was really embarrassing trying to show the note to a iPhone user haha

Except for the part where iPhone users can't even play Flash in a browser.
Edit: by the way the above video was flawless for me in Opera Mobile full screen mode. Unwatchable in the stock browser.
I think its LOGO`s WEBSITE!.
I have problems sometimes with it Producing Video on my 1080p TV with a 2GB Graphics card that I can play World of warcraft on ultra with 60fps on. SO I think its what logo uses.
same goes for Fox`s Website
Try using the Skyfire browser and see if it runs better. It's what I used for flash when I was on iOS. It will take the load off of your device and put it on their distributed computing network, and just stream you the transcoded video.

Haha true but still not a good way to show off the note. Interesting. I couldn't get it to work in dolphin. Let me try opera. What could cause these browsers to play these videos so poorly.

This must have updated after I tested with opera browser. It is finally watchable. I'm just curious what can cause the stock browser struggle.

Has anyone been able to get the Sirius XM app working on their prime? With the apk from another thread on XDA, mine just sits there on the update screen. :'(

IMEI
The Sirius app needs to be able to read an IMEI number to work and because we are on a tablet and not a phone, there isn't one. I ran into the same problem with my GTablet and ran a patch on the ROM I was running to add the IMEI. Sirius then worked great, along with HBO Go. Hopefully someone much smarter than me can figure out how to patch an IMEI number into the prime. Here is the thread were I got the patch:

Well, yay!
I am now streaming SiriusXM to my tablet in the background without the app. FINALLY! THIS IS SO AWESOME!
I'm using XMTuner (there are several different PC applications like this you could use) in conjunction with TVersity.
XMTuner is a dual purpose PC app that is a non-browser tuner as well as a server for linking the channel feeds to uPnP. TVersity (Pro) serves local media and streams (it treats the Sirius XM feed as an RSS feed).
I'm playing the channels on my Prime using Skipta which can be minimized to the taskbar. uPnPlay can also be used (as I've used it for years), but it seems to be slower loading the DLNA server locations.
As an incredibly awesome side effect, I am now able to stream SiriusXM to my Xbox 360. That's a pretty f***ing awesome side effect.
UPDATE: uPnPlay seems to be the better option. If you turn on the Cache Detection in the Experimental settings, your TVersity server connects instantly. No such setting in Skipta.
New Sirius app works from backup
Just downloaded the newest Sirius app on my phone. Did a Titanium backup and restored it on my Prime. Worked like a charm! The app is version 2.0 build 20060. The app is even better than the old one. You can rewind songs and whole shows.
Still no reason why there isn't a tablet optimized version...

It actually looks great on my Prime. It looks like it is optimized for a tablet, so maybe they are going to allow it soon. Check out the screenshot I took.

When I did the backup with Titanium, I was already signed in and had the channel list updated on my phone. I never saw the login screen on my prime.

You should change the topic to be more descriptive.
You can download the app here:
NBCOlympics.com
People searching for this know that the app is flagged as incompatible. I you cannot download it from nbcolympics as it just provides a play store link

Interesting app. It does ask who your TV provider is and made me log in to my FiOS account.
An Olympics fan with a Prime who doesn't have an android device will appreciate your sharing of the app.
After reading how you did it, I did it for myself to my phone from the market, then used Root Explorer to find air.com.nbcuni.com.nbcsports.liveextra-1.apk in /data/apps. Then I sent it to my cloud storage so the Prime can access it. Works just like you said.

It works great. I simply downloaded the APK...
It's a shame that they don't support Tegra 3......
It says I don't have a subscription. Is there anything I can do about that? I don't have MSNBC I don't think. All I have is dish network kids pack. I REALLY want to watch the Olympics!

When I try to install the first time I get an error message saying something like "There was a problem parsing this package." Then I tried it a second time, and the install worked, but it keeps going into slow motion. Any idea why?
I'm on a stock transformer prime.
The slow motion that happens after the first few seconds of video playback can be worked around by pressing your home button. Then, open the recent programs and go back to Live Extra. The video will play back fine.

Youtube buffering

I get 25 down at my house and in my room i have one of those apple wifi extender things that plugs into a wall outlet. For some reason when connected to the wifi extender i get only 6 down. This should still be enough for HD youtube since i can still play HD netflix through it however video costantly stops and starts. Has any one else expeienced this? Is there a certain download speed needed for youtube?

i believe thats because using the browser to load youtube disables HD
if you turn HD off via the app it'll load better..... but buffering just suck on the prime... sadly enough =[
